A View of SUFFRAGE.

The experiment of woman suffrage
in Kansas has reached point at
which some results begin to appear.
One strong ground of the suffragists is
the claim of the superior moral nature
of women, and the inference, that
therefore the ballot in her hands will
tend to purify politics. The fact
which we see in Kansas is that by
means of woman suffrage the worst
candidates are much more frequently
elected than under the old system.
The reason Of this is simple enough,
and has by no means been overlooked
by those who have some knowledge OF
human nature. The better class o1
the women neglect to vote. They can
be brought to the polls only occasion.
ally, and by some spasmodic effort:
The worse class always vote, and
their vote always goes for the worse
candidate.
The plain truth is, that suffrage is
not natural right. 1t is purely d
political right. The farther our Re
public goes with the experiment, the
more disinclined do we find thought
full men for the extension OF this right
to any more indiscriminate classes o.
people. No doubt many women are
eminently qualified for the exercises
OF political privileges. No doubt YER,
many of them are much better quail
fled than a large number Of men
And there is just as little doubt tha
unlimited woman suffrage means the
sinking OF politics to lower deptl
than that which it has reached now
